Okay. Apparently when Eclipse builds, the default folder is /bin. This happens to be the same folder that Backendless houses the CodeRunner and Deploy scripts. When this happens, Eclipse cleans it out and puts the compiled classes into it. I went into the Eclipse settings and found what I thought was the place to change, but that still wouldn’t compile anything into the /classes folder.
I switched to IntelliJ and the compiling, testing/debug, and publish all work. I’m sure there is something to getting Eclipse to do what is expected, but I haven’t figured it out. I’ll work on the coding project in IntelliJ for now, then maybe in 6 months or so come back and see what I can find out with Eclipse. If there are others out there that have an Eclipse workspace/project environment that is working, it would be cool to see. Otherwise, I would suggest IntelliJ.
Mark, thanks for the help. The mistakes were all mine and I’ve got it running now!
